All birth, baby care, & parenting classes will be held online until 2021. We will continue to re-evaluate as circumstances evolve. The sudden shift to online classes hit us by surprise. The other surprise was how much families enjoyed them.There has been so much positive feedback that we believe this will be the best online class experience you've ever had.

"We had such a sweet evening together after class, reflecting on what was helpful and sharing with each other. We're so grateful!”

"Thank you for making us feel so comfortable under unideal circumstances.”

"There was actually something quite nice about being in our own home, tackling problems right from our couch, making lunch in our kitchen during break, etc. It was lovely meeting all the other parents going through the same things as us - especially after months of only hanging out with each other!"

Conscious Engagement WORKSHOPS

​​

Our Conscious Engagement workshop offers the opportunity to slow down from all the planning and learn ways to savor your commitment and sharpen your communication skills.

CONSCIOUS ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOP

Our work is a blend of intuitive mentoring and research based information based on 40 years of relationship research from The Gottman Institute .

You will enjoy a rejuvenating weekend with the person you love while learning the building blocks to a secure, balanced relationship.

Each class will cover the practical information, hands-on skills practice, and experienced based learning. There is plenty of time for private couples work and group dialogue. The classes are small with nine couples or less offered in a comfortable classroom.

Certified Gottman Educator and relationship mentor, Amity Kramer, will lead couples in a fun, soulful, and informative retreat that will flow between lecture, couples work, and facilitated group dialogue.

You and your partner will learn simple ways to:

Set your marriage up for success

Reduce criticism and defensiveness, and transform conflict into connection

When should we take this class?

Anytime before your wedding.

We get along great, why should we attend the class?

It's great that you get along so well. We want to help you keep it that way! We have seen so many couples over the years wish they had Thresholds style relationship skills from the very start of their marriage. We formed this class to help couples stop negative patters before they start!

I am in a long term relationship with more than one person, can we all come?

Yes, we welcome families of all different make ups. There is an $50 charge or each additional person.

“As part of our anniversary Elisabeth and I review the year and we each do a ‘high-low-high’ from the past year. We both agreed that our weekend with you and the ‘Bringing Baby Home’ class was a true highlight of the year. It was probably the best thing we’ve done for our relationship since our pre-marital counseling.”
